Derkack

[S_Janowski]

Great game tonight.

He might not be the most offensively gifted but he’s scrappy, fights for positioning and has a quick step.

That pass he had was incredible. He had a few big boards as well.

I like what I’ve seen from him so far and think he plays a big role this year.

Wouldn’t be surprised if he gets more play than Acuff through the season.

 

[ClassOf02]

Tons of swagger….really like him through 2 games.

 

[AreYouNUTS]

Love how he plays. He's gonna drive teams nuts in conference play.

Watching him play thus far, let's be honest, you want him in the bar with you when things go down. That dude gives no ****s!!!

 

[cm_13]

Two huge rebounds late. Made a difference.

 

[RU23]

Someone in the last game recap complained about him and I was so confused. He’s a gamer

 

[Rokodesh]

Derkack plays like he eats the whole banana without peeling

 

[rutgerskevin]

Reminds me a little of Salvi

 

[RutgersClassof2004]

Paul Mulcahy born again!

Derkack plays like he eats the whole banana without peeling

Like he eats walnuts without shelling.

 

[Scangg]

Derkack is a gamer glue guy. He also can get to the basket and draw contact. He should have had a few more trips to the line. Came up huge down the stretch rebounding. Love his grab and go cosst to coast when he gets a board

 

[RW90]

Watching him bring the ball up after the late rebound he was like just try to take the ball from me MFers.

 

[knight82]

Lunch pail type player. Does the dirty work

Paul Mulcahy born again!

That is what I said at the game tonight.

 

[soundcrib]

Can’t guard anybody. Constantly loses his man on defense. Not good in pick and roll defense. But yes, he does hustle.

 

[RUeric]

Just needs to be better closing out on 3-point shooters. Many of the 3's tonight were on his closeouts. Otherwise, yes he's been pretty good.

C’mon bro.

Those are your only takeaways from tonight?

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

Unfortunately can't shoot. One possession both he and JWill turned down open 3s

NEC defensive player cannot guard anyone and always loses his man? Really? Granted that was more zone than man, but still...

 

[SBP]

Yea but he’s gotta stop driving so much into traffic… 2 times at least tonight. Gotta give up the rock a tad more. But great rebounding.

 

[RutgersClassof2004]

He really does have Paul's game. Love his tenacity. Will benefit RU much more than harm us in important spots. He seems to do pretty much everything a shade below Mulcahy. However, Mulcahy was always a focal point of RU's offensive attack and the distributor. Derkack doesn't have to carry that load; he can let game come to him.

If referring to Shelby’s comment last week, it was that he expected more basketball ability from Derkack but Martini and Sommerville played better than expected.

He said Derkack reminded him of his own no-talent hack offense game many moons ago. No fluidity, no touch, looking more to make contact and get to the line than make baskets.

Hustle guy, sure. Need that energy and rebounding fight. But not much scoring ability.

You're speaking in the 3rd person?????...............are you kidding me. You're an odd person with a ton of weird takes. maybe it's just your age getting to you.

 

[BigEastPhil]

Dercack is some tough nosed gritty kid.

Love his toughness and basketball savvy!

Amazing all the rebounds he got at end of game while playing the 4.

His brother is supposedly a stud. Hopefully Pike recruits him hard !

Shelby speaks the same way. It’s both ingenious and also great fun for Shelby.

 

[BigEastPhil]

Dercack and Martini are Pike s type of players !

They play tough and smart basketball on both sides of the ball !
We’re very fortunate to have both !

In close games, both will be on the court at end of games !

 

[RU-ROCS]

Hes

Paul Mulcahy born again!

He has some of Paul’s best attributes, but he doesn’t need the ball in his hands to be effective.

His bro was at the game

2 for 2 then

 

[knights1212]

We have some really good depth this year. Hayes only had 4 shots for 5 points but he led the team with 7 rebounds in just 20 minutes. He is also playing very well. Davis played well tonight also as did Sommerville, Martini, Derkack, and Harper. Actually all 9 guys cntributed to the win.

As I've said many times here after he committed he's not a superstar but 1) he's better than Griffiths 2) if he was a 9th or 10th man like people on this board including moderators suggested then we must have a hell of a team (eye roll).
